can you draw over a pushbutton?

[illuzioner]

hi,

has anyone successfully, in its paintEvent, drawn over a QPushButton?

void MyButton::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *Event)
{
  QPainter painter(this);
  QPushButton::paintEvent(Event);
 
  QRect buttonRect=rect();
  painter.setBrush(QBrush(Qt::red,Qt::SolidPattern));
  painter.drawRoundRect(buttonRect,20,20);
  painter.drawText(0,0,w,h, Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignVCenter,QString("Button"),&buttonRect);
}

void MyButton::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *Event)
{
  QPainter painter(this);
  QPushButton::paintEvent(Event);

  QRect buttonRect=rect();
  painter.setBrush(QBrush(Qt::red,Qt::SolidPattern));
  painter.drawRoundRect(buttonRect,20,20);
  painter.drawText(0,0,w,h, Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignVCenter,QString("Button"),&buttonRect);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

the code after the QPushButton:: paintEvent(Event) doesn't seem to do anything.

now, take out line 4 and you can see that the code works. strange.

anybody know how to fix this? stylesheets won't work for me in this case.

thanks! -- lou

What happens if you initialize the painter after calling the base class version?

wow, that was it. this is a difference in qt4 from qt3 where i had no problems doing it this way.

Thanks for that!

Hi,
I am new to Qt. I am facing the problem. Can you please provide me your working code?

Simply switch lines #3 and #4 in the OP's code.
